· In anticipation of the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service, Harpers Ferry National Historical Park (NHP) is planning a number of events for the upcoming year. This August, Harpers Ferry NHP is putting on an after-hours movie night called Harpers Ferry NHP Presents: Screen on the Green. The park will be showing PBS’s John Brown’s Holy War at 8:30 pm on Saturday, Aug. 1, 2015 in Lower Town across from the Bookshop, outdoors. Following the end of the film, we will have a ranger-led Q&A session. The event is free and open to the public. Parking will be available on a first come, first served basis at the train station parking lot on Potomac Street. Please bring your own chairs.
This event is a part of the National Park Service’s Find Your Park initiative in which the National Parks are inviting visitors to find their own connection to a park. By inviting visitors into the park after the museums have closed, Harpers Ferry NHP hopes that the visitors who attend this event will find a new connection to the town and its history.
